IMPROVEMENT IN DRUGGISTS FILTERS AND FUNNELS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 170, 167, datedNovember 23, 1875; application filed September 16, 1875.-

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ABRAM E. GARRISON, ofNewton, in the county of Harvey and State of Kansas, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Druggist Filters and Funnels; andI do hereby declare that the followingis a full, clear, and exactdescription thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art towhich it pertains to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompany ing drawing, and to the letters of reference marked thereon,which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to an improved combined druggists filter andfunnel, the nature of which will be fully explained by reference to theaccompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 represents a vertical sectionof a combined funnel and filter constructed according to my invention.Fig. 2 shows a similar View, with filtering media applied between thestrainers. Figs. 3 and 4 show plan views of the strainers separately.Fig. 5 is a vertical section of a slight modificationof my invention.

In each of the views similar letters of reference are employed toindicate corresponding parts wherever they occur.

' A represents a funnel, which, at a}, is provided wit-h a rim or ledgefor the support of a removable perforated strainer, (0 To the lower edgeof the funnel A is connected a pipe .or tube, B, which forms acontinuation of the funnel A, and is provided with a rim or ledge, Iupon which rests the periphery of a removable perforated strainer, 0,thereby forming a chamber, D between the strainers a? and G for thereception of a sponge or other suitable filtering media, E, as shown byFig. 2. To the lower end of the tube or pipe B is connected afunnel-shaped extension, F, capable of being received within the neck,mouth, or opening of a bottle or other receiver.

In Figs. 1 and 2 I have shown the pipe or tube B formed in one piece,and both of the strainers a and O capable of removal from andreplacement in their respective positions through the funnel A. The tubeB may, however, be divided into two parts, B B as shown by Fig. 5, andthe said parts connected together by means of a male screw-thread, B onthe part B being received into a female thread, B in the end of the partB In this case the strainer O is inserted into the end of the part B,and held against the projecting rim [1' by means of the end of the partB when the saidpart B is screwed up into position in the part B I Bythusconstructing a combined funnel and filter for druggists use I am enabledto produce an article which is simple in its construction and readilycleansed.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is-

1. A combined filter and funnel embodying in its construction upper andloweriunnelshaped portionsA and F, connected together by a tube, B,having parallel sides, and forming, by means of the removable flatperfo-l rated strainers a and G, a chamber, D, for

the reception of filtering media E, the whole being constructed as andfor the purpose described.

2. A combined filter and funnel embodying in its construction upper andlower funnelshaped portions A and F, connected together by a dividedtube, B, having parallel sides, the halves B B of said tube B beingcoupled together by screw-threads B B, as shown, and holding the lowerfiat perforated strainer 0 between their ends, the upper strainer a?being supported on a rim, a and forming a chamber, B, for the receptionof filtering media E, the whole being constructed as and for the purposeshown and described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own 1 affix my signaturein presence of two witnesses.

ABRAM E. GARRISON.
